Chapter 14: Heaven

We stay out until the sun starts to rise. This time, I have no blanket to cover me on my way to my room, only my ripped up shirt that I tie around my waist. But I don’t feel like its a Walk of Shame, even though there’s grass stains on my knees and the smell of sex hangs in the air around me. No, I don’t feel any shame or fear at all.

Not with Malek escorting me all the way to my door.

“Does this mean you’ll stop threatening me?” I ask as he bends down to kiss me in front of it. Malek regards me solemnly, his eyes softer and yet more troubled than they’ve ever been.

“I still think you should leave,” he says. “As Horsemen, our lives don’t belong to us. Sometimes, we’re called on to do terrible things… things that no one should have to do. And yet, we do it because we have to, because our deeds are ordained.”

“And because I’m part-angel…”

“You’ll have to choose. Horsemen aren’t meant to love anyone. Everyone is dispensable. When the time comes, you’ll either stand with the angels… or you’ll Fall to be with us. And even then… we might have to betray you ourselves if you stand in our way.”

“But I’m not even going to try to receive Grace,” I frown, overwhelmed. I hadn’t even mentioned love… but the fact that Malek did, makes something hard and cold start to melt, deep inside of me. "I can’t Fall. There’s no need to worry at all.”

Malek just looks at me like he knows something I don’t. “Just trust me. It’s for your own good if you get as far away as you can from us.”

He turns to leave and I catch his hand, pulling him back.

“You can’t possibly justify all the crap the Four of you have pulled by saying it’s for my own good,” I say scornfully, purposely making my voice harsh. Even though I’ve started to see them in a new light, I won’t ever forget what they did to me.

“Of course not,” he replies. “I can’t speak for everything the others did, only for myself. But who wants to crave what they can’t have? If you go, it’ll be easier on all of us.”

He yanks his hand from mine and starts walking away.

I frown darkly as he strides down the hall. “You can’t tell me what to do you know,” I call out after him. “In the end, I have free will, even if you think you don’t. And if I choose to stay, I’ll stay.”

He doesn’t turn back and just keeps walking down the deserted corridor. Once he’s gone, I turn to enter my room, scrambling for my keys in my too-tiny skirt pocket.

The sound of clapping reaches my ears and I turn to my other side.

It’s Christian, lounging against the door jam of a room down the hall.

“I see you’ve ticked off another Horseman from your list,” he drawls. “You’re just a regular slut now, aren’t you? Nothing special at all.
